I have very thin chicken cultets that I would love to fill and roll up?

Question

They are so thin (1/4) inch that if they are over-cooked, get dry REALLY fast. I want to put a filling in them, roll them up with a toothpike, and bake them but cannot find what to stuff them with. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
